Sincheon Station to be renamed

In Seoul there is always confusion around 2 similarly named subway stations. Sincheon and Sinchon sound similar and both of the stations are on the green line #2. If you end up at the wrong one it will take over 30 minutes to reach the correct station.

They voted on new station names and the one with the most votes was Jamsilsaenae Station. The first part 'Jamsil' is the area where the station is located. The second part 'saenae' is the pure Korean version of Sincheon in Chinese characters.
